Episode 325 - The Raising of The Squalus


Listen Later

In light of recent events in the news surrounding the Oceangate submarine tragedy, the boys visit the story of the USS Squalus. The Squalus was a US Sargo-class submarine that sank off the coast of New Hampshire during test dives on 23 May 1939. The sinking drowned 26 crew members, but an ensuing rescue operation, using the McCann Rescue Chamber for the first time, saved the lives of the remaining 33 aboard. The Squalus was salvaged in late 1939 and recommissioned as Sailfish in May 1940. The divers commissioned to rescue the trapped submariners each received the Medal of Honor. Have a listen!!
